Human I think. An inventor that at some point died, leaving that universe without a Doctor Who...
Nature abhors a vacuum.
Also that TARDIS only had one room..
It's a fixer-upper. Still bigger on the inside.
Meta Ten can put in the swimming pool and Zeppelin hangar...
Yeah so Cushing's Doctor is on Pete's World as others have said...
The Meta-Crisis Doctor is Cushing's Doctor.
The Meta-Crisis Doctor is Cushing's Doctor.
OK........... How he get old, and travel to what looks like the 60s? Did he find the Cushing TARDIS?
He's human, he ages like we do. He invented it. Or grew it. Or both. I forget exactly how that works. He got the the 60s the same way the Doctor got to the 60s. In a TARDIS/Tardis.
Going with the "Pete's world" scenario, here's my humble take. Meta-Crisi Doctor and Rose have a kid (or more). At least one of them grows up and parents first Barbara and later Susan. Being "human" Meta=Crisis Tennant ages until he resembles Cushing. Fate of Rose? Not to be callous, but it's not critical in this scenario...unless it somehow drives "Dr. Who" to build a TARDIS. The 1960s esthetic? Pete's World doesn't exactly parallel Earth in the prime Who-niverse; maybe some aspects of 60s fashion came back in style in that else-world. Anyway, we eventually reach the point that opens the first Amicus movie when the elderly Meta-Crisis inventor has completed his project.
Of course, I'm partial to the idea that was intended for "Day of the Doctor" but never made it to the final cut. The two Amicus movies exist as they do for us, as movies. At some point after they return to the mid 1960s, Ian and Barbara "fictionalize" their encounter with the Daleks and sell the outlines to a movie studio that in turn actually produces them.
Back in the real world, ours, a third Dalek film starring Cushing was considered, loosely based upon "The Chase" serial. Obviously, it never got made, but Andrew Orton, someone at one time associated with the "Who3D Project" (an early attempt at recreating lost footage using polygon based modeling and animation) put together a theatrical trailer for such a film. It really feels like a "coming attractions" one might have seen in movie houses of the 60s.
